It's a make-it or break it time for retailers. The holiday selling season is always a critical time for retailers, but this year this may be even more true. With several retailers already falling victim to a drop in consumer spending, and filing for bankruptcy, retailers will be navigating through some tricky waters. Consumers are strapped for cash due to high energy and food prices, and unemployment is rising. The recent credit crunch has made it more challenging for retailers and consumers to borrow.

This blog will look at the winners and losers in the retail space. Who has the right strategy to capture consumer dollars? It also will look for trends in consumer spending and how that will impact the economy.

Stupid or Cool? Check Out These 12 Weird Gift Ideas

Uroclub

A Golf Club With Hidden Urinal
$24.95 at UroClub.com

For whatever reason, there aren't many restrooms on the golf course.

And, when you get to a certain age, you really can't wait 18 holes.

Dr. Floyd Seskin, a urologist in the Miami area, said guys used to come in all the time telling him how they would hit their ball in the woods every few holes to, uh, alleviate the situation.

Some hid behind their carts.

Others didn't make it.

Then, one day, he was golfing with a few buddies. They all had his back to them and that's when the lightbulb went on. What if you could make a device discreet enough that you could just turn your back and no one would know?

And with that the UroClub was born.

"The only club in your bag guaranteed to keep you out of the woods!" the company touts on its Web site.

Here's how it works: You unscrew the cap on the dummy club. Then, clip the privacy towel to your waistband or belt.

The UroClub also clips onto the towel so you have both hands free to, uh, ...

Discreetly handle the situation.

Screw the triple-seal leak-proof cap back on, replace the club and then get back in the game!

It's a perfect gift for that golfer in your life.

Honestly, how many ball washers and "How's My Driving?" T-shirts can you buy a guy?
